net neutrality - 3 But! no QoS! no business model! where is security?

4
net neutrality - 4 QoS can you sell better QoS at a higher price? multiple levels per customer multiple levels per application service provider “the Internet is not reliably crappy enough” S. Bradner “It fails to fail often enough so it looks like it works.” Mike O’Dell but this is without much video

5
net neutrality - 5 ISP Business Model service can be provided by 3rd parties - not just by carriers a quote from an IETF mailing list Hi Roy, I still don’t understand why it is a "users" choice where the "services" are executed - I would have thought that this would be networks choice and ISP does not profit from applications using network - i.e., Internet is a commodity “We do not know how to route money” Dave Clark

net neutrality - 9 What Did It Give Us e2e Internet, and open computer operating systems, are generative enable innovation by others impact society by moving or eliminating control points The Internet is a “parent revolution”

10
net neutrality - 10 Regulatory Approaches openists net must be open to enable innovation commons require network neutrality e.g., power grid does not favor toasters to let people at edge/end innovate dumb pipe must be available deregulationists if network is property then companies will innovate note: “property” specifically includes right to exclude network owner needs incentive to invest forced smart pipe OK The Broadband Debate: A User's Guide - Tim Wu http://ssrn.com/abstract=557330

11
net neutrality - 11 FCC 4 “principles” (5 August 2005) consumers are entitled to access the lawful Internet content of their choice consumers are entitled to run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement consumers are entitled to connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network consumers are entitled to competition among network providers, application and service providers, and content providers http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-151A1.pdf

13
net neutrality - 13 e2e convinced that the e2e principle is important? Google, Vonage, eBay, Skype and thousands of other companies are telcos are but in a reverse way see ITU-T Next Generation Network (NGN) effort and regulators are not sure

14
net neutrality - 14 Future E2E Net users are also content providers more than half of teenagers create their own content > 100 M blogs in China by end of year telco vision = distribute content from content owners e2e Internet vision - I can talk to you killer app for telephone was connectivity same for Internet

15
net neutrality - 15 Net Neutrality Senate Commerce Committee hearing 2/7/06 Vint Cerf at al vs. TIA et al Cerf described e2e concept & power of Internet asked Senators to not let carriers destroy it Walter McCormick, Jr. for US Telecom Industry Association would never "block, impair, or degrade content, applications or services.” but do not make any rules to stop us

16
net neutrality - 16 Net Neutrality, contd. Vint’s reason carriers could make it so carrier permission (or payment) is required for new applications would block new app development - destroy generative effect TIA’s reason if Internet is a commodity then carriers are not “guaranteed a return on their investment” (note - did not say what they would actually do - disavowed AT&T etc CEO statements http://commerce.senate.gov/hearings/witnesslist.cfm?id=1705

17
net neutrality - 17 Carrier View it’s my wire, I’ll do what I want with it Edward E. Whitacre - CEO AT&T ‘Google, Vonage & Skype are using my network for free’ “AT&T will not block or degrade traffic, period,and we won't change (our position) no matter what sky-is-falling rhetoric you hear. Markets work best when consumers have choices.” William L. Smith - CTO Bell South ‘we should be able to charge Yahoo to let their web page load faster than Google’ pushing to charge services for “better service” small step to making payment required for any useful transport (i.e., a protection racket)

18
net neutrality - 18 Should the Carrier Dictate? “One does not allow the plumbers to decide the temperature, depth and timing of a bath.” Jack Gould Aug 1966 declaring that “old line carriers” such as AT&T should not be allowed to dominate national communications

19
net neutrality - 19 Falsehoods in Discussion Washington Times - 6/12/06 “The basis for this is the idea that the Internet should remain "free" to all.” “Google and Amazon just want to continue their free ride.” Chicago Tribune - 6/26/06 “Most of the country enjoys some competition among Internet service providers. The Federal Communications Commission reports that 88 percent of the nation's ZIP codes have at least two high-speed Internet service providers” “ If lawmakers had forced a uniform price requirement on mail delivery, the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, DHL and UPS would have been barred from charging a premium for faster delivery. ”

20
net neutrality - 20 Consumer Freedom I should be able to buy a bigger link for more $ if my link is too small I cannot use some services maybe I should be able to push a ‘gofaster’ button - charge me more $ but my choice different than Google having to pay my ISP to get good service to me

21
net neutrality - 21 Implementation how would carrier force Goggle to pay a/ black list 1/ block if no pay (but they say they will not) 2/ degrade if no pay (but they say they will not) b/ white list 1/ higher priority for those who pay but if Vonage works now where would higher priority help only where there is not enough bandwidth there is enough bandwith now in most places but maybe not enough for lots of video fail to upgrade infrastructure - cause congestion but that is not active interference so meets promise

22
net neutrality - 22 Is There A Problem? claim is there is no problem to solve no carrier is blocking etc not common but happens currently FCC does not have authority to stop blocking etc there has been one case (Madison River) settled w/o claim of FCC authority see http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2005/031405bradner.html

23
net neutrality - 23 Tussel can an e2e ISP survive economically? can government let big ISPs (if they are also big telcos) fail? deprive legacy customers of telephone service what about universal service? but if ISP ‘gets a piece of the action’ is it the Internet? ‘piece of the action:’ == charging content holders/service providers 1/ for quality access to customers 2/ part of the fee charged to the customer

24
net neutrality - 24 Tussel 2 what about role of ISP in regulating content not just a China problem - see PA child porn law what is the responsibility of the ISPs relating to “bad” content on their servers or wires? ISPs as regulated monopolies? that is what got us the phone net (& Internet) of today common carriage enabled the Internet

25
net neutrality - 25 Ball now in Washington ball is now in the hands of congress & FCC legislation pending in DC to update ‘93 telcom act outcome TBD but who has more lobbyists? and when does Congress not love a telco?
